Actress Jessie Buckley details her intense and unique preparation for Maggie Gyllenhaal's 'The Bride!', including working with a dialect coach and comparing her process to playing 'feral' jazz.
Transcript
00:00I had an incredible dialect coach who every morning would come in to me in the trailer and we'd
00:05riff around Allen Ginsberg's Howl, half in Mary Shelley, half in The Bride, and then we'd start
00:11like mixing it up. And it was like playing jazz in the most kind of feral, wild way. And it
00:16was
00:16such a brilliant experience. Two accents which are not yours. Yeah. Yeah, yeah. You know, I mean,
00:23we haven't even said that yet. Like, not just two voices and two characters, two completely
00:29different accents, which are not your native accents. Yeah, I mean, that just comes with
00:33work. You know, I prepped for a year to create this character in both the voice and the body
00:40and really had to define them individually before I began to have a conversation with
00:44them inside me. And how I always like to work is, you know, you do the work and then you
00:48get to set and you take your hands off the wheel and you just like let it go.
